Google position is determined by some super secret algorithm that includes and is directly related to the number and quality of eyeballs viewing the web page.

I've looked at a number of your posts over the years, and honestly, once I clicked through to the page I doubt I've ever read one. I MIGHT have read the first one. Now I just see, "Oh, there's that unreadable mess again."

I clicked this one because it had a good headline. That's all.

That's precisely my point, i.e., note the word "consistently."
("I don't believe threads that are unreadable can consistently achieve a Google position in the top ten.")

Most people are not as masochistic as you seem to be. Once they've determined they don't like my posts, they don't continue to open them.

Another point. Your central premise as to the purpose/structure of my posts is wrong. The purpose of my posts is twofold: (1) To present a new argument with a new essay (2) To support that argument with documentation, prior arguments, audio/video and/or other data; that is, to get the word out, to be another resource online.

I do not expect the reader to read beyond the new essay necessarily, i.e., to read all the footnotes, play the audio/video, or goto the supporting links. Indeed, I don't expect that all readers will even read the entire essay.

Some people are inveterate headline-and-first-paragraph people. If the concept is transmitted via the headline and first paragraph and given credibility with the documentation, that is sufficient for me. This exercise is not an ego-driven thing. All I am shooting for is to get the word out.
